I am proud to be a member of this community, which represents the true Islam and has always rejected the idea of war and terrorism. We focus more on self reformation and spreading knowledge about Islam. Unfortunately the true beauty of Islam has been distorted by individuals who claim to be Muslim but spread violence and hate.

As for the content of the article, I looked up these “Ahmadi Muslims” and found their website, http://www.alislam.org . Lots of interesting information that will change your perspective of Islam!

But more important than this is our view that we do not condone the breaking of law of the land even of we are persecuted and denied our fundamental human rights. All we are allowed to do is leave such a place. Disorder and rebellion, in our understanding of Islam, is worse than killing, and thus absolutely forbidden.

Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is delivering the same message.
